The 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup will be played at 13 stadiums across the U.S., including seven NFL facilities, soccer’s regional governing body announced Wednesday.

The biennial tournament will kick off July 7 and feature 12 national teams, including the U.S. and two-time defending champion Mexico.

With 13 venues in place, it’s likely that each first-round group will be contested with doubleheaders at three different stadiums. Two quarterfinal doubleheaders will follow, followed by a semifinal twin bill and then the final on July 28, perhaps at either Soldier Field in Chicago or the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif.

CONCACAF didn’t indicate when it would announce which games will be allocated to the 13 venues, but The Washington Post reported that information will be released in March. Meanwhile, Portland Timbers owner Merritt Paulson wrote on Twitter, then deleted, that the U.S. will play one of its first-round games at Jeld-Wen Field.

This year’s Gold Cup isn’t as important as the one staged in 2011. With the final round of World Cup qualifying taking center stage this year and no FIFA Confederations Cup berth on offer to the winner of the Gold Cup, some participants might be at less than full strength.

U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said he plans to build two rosters in 2013—one to contest the Gold Cup and another to vie for a World Cup berth. Mexico will be preoccupied by both the Hexagonal and this summer’s Confederations Cup in Brazil.

Eleven of the 12 Gold Cup teams have been confirmed—the U.S., Mexico, Canada, Costa Rica, Honduras, Belize, El Salvador, Cuba, Trinidad and Tobago, Haiti and Martinique. The final spot will be determined Friday in a one-game playoff between Guatemala and Panama.
